You took some hits to the body
Makes you feel so tired yeah
So things ain't been so right lately
Keep all them secrets down low
You pessimistic fellow
Your rebel a__ is turning yellow
I know you're only human
You once were smiling but since then oh
You're plagued with paranoia yeah
It's all for loving money
Sometimes it ain't so funny no
When you feel that the world's against you yeah

Oh the clue's to fight it
Stop lyin' in bed
Playing the crying game
Oh once you decide it
Stop living as dead
Playing the crying game

Cuts like a knife but you feel no pain
It's all narcoticized your brain
You've gotten used to stormy weather yeah
You want so hard to make it better
Yet sabotaging to the letter
Ain't the way to treat yours truly no
The answer ain't to fly away
You gotta feel you wanna stay
Just visualize a bed of roses yeah

Oh the clue's to fight it
Stop lyin' in bed
Playing the crying game
Oh once you decide it
Stop living as dead
Playing the crying game

No doubt about it
You're losin' my friend
Playing the crying game
Oh once you decide it
Stop living as dead
Playing the crying game
